Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 136 Preparations for the filming of Sherlock Holmes

"This actor is very excited." Teng Shu looked at Dam in the company and was stunned for a moment. The other party came in the morning, and according to Zoroark, the other party came very early and arrived at the door of the company at 7:30 in the morning.

She arrived earlier than the aunties who were in charge of the company's cleaning.

When he saw Teng Shu, his eyes turned red and he excitedly ran over to bow and shake hands with Teng Shu, which made Teng Shu a little uncomfortable.

"Maybe it's because you want to make sure whether you have won the male lead?" Zoroark stood behind Teng Shu, holding the documents in his hand, and said in a teasing tone.

Two movie stars came yesterday, but the boss chose such an unknown person. If this news were to be leaked, it would definitely cause an uproar.

"His image and acting skills are both pretty good, and they fit my impression of Sherlock Holmes, so I let him play the leading actor Zoroark. You go find the legal department and sign a contract with this actor." Teng Shu pinched his brows.

He had read the other party's resume and knew that this unlucky guy's usual acting career was not particularly smooth. It could even be said that his acting career had some twists and turns. He was usually an extra, not even as good as a minor role. It was normal for him to be able to become his own leading man.

However, the contract still needs to be signed. After all, Teng Shu is 90% sure that the Sherlock Holmes work can make this TV series a milestone in the entire Pokémon world of fictional detectives.

By then, the actor Dam will have gained enough reputation and fame with the role of Sherlock Holmes, so it would be good to sign the contract. And for the sake of the crew's filming funds, Teng Shu also hopes to sign it early. After all, Sherlock Holmes will have more than one season.

Why did the cost of the previous Avengers so high in the later stages? On the one hand, it was because of the special effects production, and on the other hand, it was because of the high salaries of the actors.

For example, Robert Downey Jr., the actor who played Iron Man, only received a salary of US$500,000 for the film Iron Man, which was very low. But after filming Avengers 4, with the profit share, he received a salary of almost US$100 million.

This is not a small number.

However, although Teng Shu plans to sign a contract related to the Sherlock Holmes series with Damm in advance, he will not be too harsh on the other party. The salary contract offered will also increase to a certain extent based on the other party's future fame, but there is an upper limit to the increase.

But Teng Shu still thought too much.

"Boss." Zoroark walked back quickly. She was wearing a black OL skirt and black stockings, which made her legs look exceptionally slender. Teng Shu's mouth twitched. This guy was really awesome when he transformed. If he became a host, he would probably become an instant celebrity with millions of fans.

"Have you signed it?" Teng Shu asked casually. He had no interest in Zoroark. Although he was a little surprised at Zoroark's changes, Teng Shu also knew that Zoroark was essentially a Pokémon, an evil-attribute Pokémon named Zoroark.

It is illegal for humans and Pokémon to marry and fall in love.

"He signed it without even reading it, but I also reminded him to read the contract. He's very grateful to the boss for giving him this opportunity. From the look of him, he almost wants to kneel down and kowtow to you." Zoroark said with a smile. It was the first time it saw such an excited actor.

Teng Shu nodded and said that it was fine to sign the contract. As for the other party's acting skills and character, they would always be tested by time. "Let's pay him a third of his salary first. I see that Dam's financial situation is not very good. Give him some money to improve his life and focus on filming." Teng Shu thought for a while and then said.

During the audition yesterday, Teng Shu noticed that Dam's clothes were not very good. The clothes had been washed countless times and were a little faded. Considering his life as a supporting actor over the years, Teng Shu felt that his financial situation must not be very good.

"Okay, boss." Zoroark also wrote this down. Teng Shu paid Damm 700,000 per episode for the first season. The first Sherlock Holmes series had three episodes in total, which meant a total salary of 2.1 million. An advance of 700,000 to Damm was just a drop in the bucket for Ghost Pictures.

But when it fell into Dam's hands, the man who had finally calmed down became excited again and almost jumped up.

After deciding on the actors, Teng Shu was ready to start filming as soon as possible. Mr. Sakaki only had half a year of vacation, and although it wouldn't take that long to shoot a TV series, Teng Shu still hoped it could be done as soon as possible.

So the next day, Teng Shu chartered several planes and took Sakaki, the company's employees, and Damu to the Galar region.

"Teng Shu, why do I feel like you seem very anxious?" On the plane, Sakaki looked at Teng Shu beside him and asked with some confusion.

"Well, because I want to film this work as soon as possible and let everyone see it." Teng Shu thought for a while and then gave this answer. Sakaki nodded.

Sure enough, ordinary people just can’t figure out the thoughts of great directors.

Teng Shu glanced at Sakaki beside him. Why was he so anxious? Of course it was because of you, Sakaki.

Teng Shu didn't want to be in the middle of filming and then accidentally learn the news that "the boss of Team Rocket is Sakaki" from TV or mobile phone. That would be troublesome, so Teng Shu had to hurry up and shoot. He even planned to shoot some confrontation scenes between Holmes and Moriarty in advance.

This way, if something happens to Sakaki later, Teng Shu can continue to complete his filming work, but the waterfall may need some changes, so Teng Shu has not yet figured out how to write the script.

In the British TV series "Sherlock", Moriarty died early, and used his death to put the blame on Holmes, forcing him to make a choice. As a result, Holmes faked his death. This clip was indeed quite shocking at the time.

But this is a world of Pokémon, so if Teng Shu wants to adapt the script of Waterfall, he has to consider more things.

How to design and how to design it exquisitely are also issues that Teng Shu needs to think about.

At this time, the plane slowly descended, and the Galar region came into Teng Shu's sight. Teng Shu looked at the Galar region with interest. The setting of the Galar region's Dynamism is quite interesting, but compared with MEGA evolution, Teng Shu still prefers MEGA evolution, which is more unique and full of tactics.
